Everything You Need to Know About the 2018 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Welp, it's that time of year again, folks, and I'm not talking about the changing of seasons - I'm talking about the Victoria's Secret fashion show. Preparations are already underway, castings are complete, and the show is coming back to the United States!

Below, everything you need to know about one of the biggest events in November-second only to Thanksgiving, of course.

As you probably know, last year's show was held in Shanghai, China, and some women were reportedly denied visas to travel there, including Gigi Hadid, Katy Perry - who was originally confirmed as one of the event's performers - Russian models Julia Belyakova, Kate Grigorieva and Irina Sharipova, and Ukranian model Dasha Khlystun.

The afterparty was also allegedly shut down by authorities before midnight. The year before that, the show was held in Paris.

3. But there will also be some new faces.

In an emotional Instagram post, Winnie Harlow announced that she's making her debut.

"I had a break down before I walked into the most nerve wrecking [SIC] casting of my life," she wrote in her caption. But she explained that once she got to the offices and "made new friends and saw old friends" it "already felt like home."

While Bella walked in the show last year, it's unclear whether she'll make an appearance this time around because she hasn't posted anything and the brand hasn't made an announcement. The same goes for her sister Gigi.

Kendall Jenner made her debut for VS in 2016, but due to her contractual obligations with competing lingerie brand La Perla (she starred in its 2017 Pre-Fall campaign), she didn't walk in Shanghai, and it remains unknown if she'll return this year.

6. The venue and performers have yet to be announced.

If previous years are any indication, though, you know it's going to be a very over the top affair in the best possible way.
